Authorities in Thailand have shut down INWIPTV, reportedly one of the country’s most notorious illegal IPTV services.
The operation was carried out by the Thailand Ministry of Justice’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) with support from anti-piracy coalition Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) and Thailand-based ACE member True Visions.
Operating since 2012, INWIPTV (formerly FWIPTV) charged users a subscription price of 300 Thai baht (approximately US$10) per month for access to a range of content, including from the US, international, and Thai markets, as well as live sports and adult content.
The DSI obtained search warrants and conducted coordinated search operations across six locations in Nonthaburi and Bangkok on September 21, 2025. In total, 12 employees were brought in for questioning as part of the search operations.
Additionally, over 150 pieces of evidence were seized, including large-scale unauthorised signal transmission equipment, 46 servers, electronic storage devices, financial documents and records, and multiple IPTV devices.
“We commend the DSI for their decisive action in Operation DEV Shutdown against a key IPTV target in Thailand,” said Larissa Knapp, Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Content Protection Officer for the MPA. “The case is testament to the power of our strategic partnerships with local law enforcement and our local ACE member True Visions.”
An operation led by Europol during last summer’s Euro 2024 and Paris Olympics recently dismantled a record number of illegal streaming platforms and illegal IPTVs, according to Spain’s football league La Liga. Discover more here.
